Be strong and courageous!
This exhortation echoes the words given to Joshua (Joshua 1:6-9) as he prepared to lead Israel into the Promised Land. It is a call to trust in God's power and presence, emphasizing reliance on divine strength rather than human might. The phrase is a recurring biblical theme, encouraging believers to face challenges with faith and confidence in God's promises.

Do not be afraid or discouraged
Fear and discouragement are common human responses to overwhelming circumstances. This command reassures the people of Judah that their situation is under divine control. Similar encouragements are found throughout Scripture, such as inIsaiah 41:10, where God promises His presence and support.

before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him
The Assyrian Empire was a dominant military power during this period, known for its brutal conquests and advanced warfare tactics. King Sennacherib's campaign against Judah was part of his broader strategy to expand Assyrian control. The historical context highlights the real and present danger faced by Hezekiah and his people, making the call to faith even more significant.

for there is a greater One with us than with him
This statement affirms the presence and superiority of God over any earthly power. It parallels the assurance given by Elisha in2 Kings 6:16, where he tells his servant not to fear the Aramean army because "those who are with us are more than those who are with them." This reflects the biblical truth that God's power surpasses all human strength, a theme also seen inRomans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" It foreshadows the ultimate victory of Christ over all spiritual adversaries.

Teaching Points

Courage in the Face of Adversity
The call to be strong and courageous is a timeless exhortation for believers to face their fears with faith, knowing that God is greater than any opposition.

The Reality of Spiritual Warfare
Just as Judah faced a physical army, Christians today face spiritual battles. Recognizing that God is with us provides strength and courage to stand firm.

What Does 2 Chronicles 32:7 Mean
Be strong and courageous!

– God’s people are called to decisive, resilient obedience.

• Joshua heard the same charge: “Be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:9).

• Strength here is not self-generated; it comes from trusting the Lord who “arms me with strength” (Psalm 18:32).

• Courage flourishes when we remember previous deliverances (Deuteronomy 20:1-4), turning history into fuel for present faith.

Do not be afraid or discouraged

– Two enemies creep in when opposition looms: fear and discouragement.

• Fear distorts reality; God’s remedy is His abiding presence: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5-6).

• Discouragement drains resolve; the Spirit “does not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power” (2 Timothy 1:7).

• David models the antidote: “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1).

Before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him

– The threat was real, tangible, and overwhelming.

• Sennacherib’s forces had toppled every fortress in their path (2 Kings 18:13).

• From man’s view, Judah’s defenses were laughably inadequate, echoing Israel before Goliath (1 Samuel 17:24).

• Hezekiah acknowledged the danger yet turned upward, sending word to Isaiah and spreading the enemy’s letter “before the LORD” (2 Kings 19:14-19).

For there is a greater One with us than with him

– Comparison shifts from armies to the Almighty.

• Elisha assured his servant, “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (2 Kings 6:16).

• John echoes the same truth: “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

• Paul frames it logically: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).

– The “greater One” is the LORD of hosts, whose single angel struck down 185,000 Assyrians (2 Kings 19:35). Victory flows from divine presence, not human calculation.

summary

2 Chronicles 32:7 urges fortified faith: take hold of God-given strength, refuse fear, face the visible threat, and rest in the invisible supremacy of the LORD. When He is with us, numbers, power, and intimidation lose their leverage, and courage becomes the natural posture of a people confident in their God.

(7)Be not afraid . . . the multitude.--Comp.2Chronicles 20:15, "Be not afraid nor dismayed for this great multitude." "Be strong and courageous, be not afraid" occurs inDeuteronomy 31:6 (Heb.).

For there be more with us than with him.--A reminiscence of2Kings 6:16, "Be not thou afraid; for more are they that are with us than they that are with them." It is not necessary to suppose that the chronicler professes to give the exact words of Hezekiah's exhortation, but only the substance and spirit of it.

Verse 7. - Several of the descriptive dramatic touches ofIsaiah 22:4-14 are forcible and apt commentary to this verse.
